【福克斯新闻独家首发】： 一名参议院共和党议员警告称，如今民主党内部的“激进左翼”浪潮将成为民主党2028年总统竞选的路线图，届时各候选人将角逐白宫宝座。
“我们在纽约看到的这场锤子与镰刀浪潮，绝不会是孤立事件，”密苏里州联邦参议员、共和党人埃里克·施密特在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，“这是一个亮起的红灯，是一个危险信号。”
“如今他们的初选将被这些想要与西方文明开战的人主导，”他继续说道，“我不是在编造说辞，这正是他们宣称想要做的事。因此他们的2028年总统初选将被这种意识形态定义。”

在本届中期选举周期的初选中，多名激进进步派和极左翼候选人击败了更为温和的在任议员。正如施密特所指出的，在纽约市，佐赫兰·马达尼支持的候选人在6月的初选中大获全胜。
两名在任议员——纽约州联邦众议员丹·戈德曼和阿德里亚诺·埃斯帕利亚——分别被带有马达尼背书印记的进步派候选人布拉德·兰德和达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利尔击败。
而在参议院多数党席位的角逐中，最引人注目的极左翼候选人之一是密歇根州的阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德，他正与密歇根州联邦众议员、民主党人黑利·史蒂文斯陷入一场混乱的初选对决。

施密特认为，尤其是民主党在移民问题上的立场，正在定义他们未来的政策和候选人。
“我认为他们已经认定，自己在选举中取得成功的唯一途径就是依靠移民政策，因此他们完全摒弃了比尔·克林顿甚至哈里·雷德的观点，”施密特说，“说实话，这话听起来甚至有些疯狂，但至少他们曾提出过中间派立场，而现在他们彻底抛弃了这些立场。”
具体而言，参议院民主党人正在反对一项曾由前参议院多数党领袖、内华达州联邦参议员、民主党人哈里·雷德倡导的旧政策。上世纪90年代，雷德推动了一项旨在修改出生公民权的立法——正如本月早些时候最高法院维持出生公民权的裁决后，施密特和其他共和党人如今正在做的那样。

施密特表示，受雷德指导的参议院少数党领袖、纽约州联邦参议员、民主党人查克·舒默正面临党内的警告，因为政治风向正在进一步左倾。
他的主要政治对手可能是进步派运动的标志性人物之一：纽约州联邦众议员、民主党人亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹。
“要知道，查克·舒默如果能在下次任期继续担任少数党领袖，那么他必然会面临来自奥卡西奥-科特兹或其他人的初选挑战，”施密特说，
“我认为他可能会牵头组建‘奥卡西奥-科特兹竞选总统委员会’，这样她就不会挑战他，但肯定会有其他人站出来。而如今民主党阵营的资金和能量，都掌握在这些激进左翼共产主义者手中。”

WATCH: GOP senator warns ‘hammer-and-sickle’ politics will define Democrats’ 2028 primary

Sen. Eric Schmitt warns ‘hammer-and-sickle’ politics will define Democrats’ 2028 primary
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., warned a “hammer-and-sickle wave” is taking over the Democratic Party, saying the rise of “radical leftist communists” this election cycle will shape what Democrats’ 2028 presidential primary will look like.

FIRST ON FOX: One Senate Republican warned that the “radical leftist” surge in the Democratic Party today will be the roadmap for Democrats in 2028, when candidates will jockey for the White House.
“You get this hammer-and-sickle wave we saw in New York — that is not going to be an isolated incident,” Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. “That is a flashing red light. It is a red flag.”
“Their primaries now are going to be dominated by these people who want to go to war with Western civilization,” he continued. “I mean, I’m not making this up, this is what they say they want to do. And so their [2028] presidential primary will be defined by this ideology.”
MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALISTS LOOK TO TAKE NEW YORK PLAYBOOK NATIONWIDE AFTER PRIMARY VICTORIES

Several insurgent progressive and far-left candidates have toppled more moderate incumbents in primary contests during this midterm election cycle. In New York City, as Schmitt pointed out, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s chosen candidates made a clean sweep in June.
Two incumbents, Reps. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., and Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., were felled by progressives with the Mamdani stamp of approval — Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier, respectively.
And in the race for the majority in the Senate, one of the most notable far-left candidates is Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, who is locked in a messy primary fight with Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich.
Schmitt contended that it was Democrats’ position on immigration, in particular, that was defining their policies and candidates moving forward.
“I think they’ve just decided that their only chance of being successful electorally is through their immigration policy, and so, they’ve completely dismissed the arguments of Bill Clinton and even Harry Reid,” Schmitt said. “I mean, it sounds crazy to even say that, but they were at least, I guess what you would make a centrist argument on that they’ve totally abandoned.”
Specifically, Senate Democrats are bucking an old policy that was once championed by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. In the 1990s, Reid pushed legislation that would have changed birthright citizenship — just like how Schmitt and other Republicans are doing now after the Supreme Court’s decision upholding birthright citizenship earlier this month.

Schmitt said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who was mentored by Reid, was on notice by his own party given the further left the political winds were blowing.
His main political adversary could be one of the poster children of the progressive movement: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

“You know, Chuck Schumer, if he survives to even be minority leader again, you know, next term, there’s just no way he’s not going to have a primary challenge by AOC or somebody else,” Schmitt said.
“I mean, I think he’s probably going to chair the ‘AOC for president campaign’ so … she doesn’t run against him, but there’s going to be somebody else. And the money and the energy on the Democrat side right now are these radical leftist communists.”
